Germany renounces in favor of the allied and associated powers her overseas possessions with all rights and titles therein.  All movable and immovable property belonging to the German Empire, or to any German State, shall pass to the Government exercising authority therein.  These Governments may make whatever provisions seem suitable for the repatriation of German nationals and as to the conditions on which German subjects of European origin shall reside, hold property, or carry on business.  Germany undertakes to pay reparation for damage suffered by French nationals in the Cameroons or its frontier zone through the acts of German civil and military authorities and of individual Germans from the 1st of January, 1900, to the 1st of August, 1914.  Germany renounces all rights under the convention of the 4th of November, 1911, and the 29th of September, 1912, and undertakes to pay to France in accordance with an estimate presented and approved by the Repatriation Commission all deposits, credits, advances, &c., thereby secured.  Germany undertakes to accept and observe any provisions by the allied and associated powers as to the trade in arms and spirits in Africa as well as to the General Act of Berlin of 1885 and the General Act of Brussels of 1890.  Diplomatic protection to inhabitants of former German colonies is to be given by the Governments exercising authority.

[Sidenote:  Diplomatic protection for inhabitants.]

CHINA

[Sidenote:  Germany to renounce Boxer indemnities.]

Germany renounces in favor of China all privileges and indemnities resulting from the Boxer Protocol of 1901, and all buildings, wharves, barracks for munitions of warships, wireless plants, and other public property except diplomatic or consular establishments in the German concessions of Tientsin and Hankow and in other Chinese territory except Kiao-Chau and agrees to return to China at her own expense all the astronomical instruments seized in 1900 and 1901.  China will, however, take no measures for disposal of German property in the legation quarter at Peking without the consent of the Powers signatory to the Boxer Protocol.

[Sidenote:  Abrogation of concession.]

Germany accepts the abrogation of the concessions at Hankow and Tientsin, China agreeing to open them to international use.  Germany renounces all claims against China or any allied and associated Government for the internment or repatriation of her citizens in China and for the seizure or liquidation of German interests there since August 14, 1917.  She renounces in favor of Great Britain her State property in the British concession at Canton and of France and China jointly of the property of the German school in the French concession at Shanghai.

SIAM

[Sidenote:  Rights of extra territoriality to cease.]

Germany recognizes that all agreements between herself and Siam, including the right of extra-territoriality, ceased July 22, 1917.  All German public property, except consular and diplomatic premises, passes without compensation to Siam, German private property to be dealt with in accordance with the economic clauses.  Germany waives all claims against Siam for the seizure and condemnation of her ships, liquidation of her property, or internment of her nationals.
